Chronic prostatitis - the most effective treatments

If chronic prostatitis is diagnosed, the methods of treatment are determined by the doctor. This disease is very often associated with prostate adenoma and is quite a serious problem for a man's health. As a result of chronic prostatitis, the quality of life in the genital area deteriorates significantly, which is an enormous inconvenience.

This disease is an emerging inflammatory process of the tissues of the prostate. But not all men are in a hurry to turn to a specialist for help, and therefore the disease begins significantly, what each of these will lead to is not always known.

Prostatitis often leads to infertility and the development of an infection that quickly spreads to other internal organs, especially the bladder, testicles, and kidneys.

The causes and symptoms of the disease

Researchers have shown that prostatitis is becoming increasingly common in young people. This is mostly due to infection with sexually transmitted infections such as mycoplasmosis, gonorrhea, ureaplasmosis, etc. In the case of unprotected traffic, infection with various diseases and their early treatment inevitably leads to the development of such a disease.

An interesting fact is that the development of this disease can occur due to a chronic internal disease, and even with tooth decay. In this case, chronic prostatitis develops as a result of the spread of the infection by the hematogenous route, in other words, this route can be called the spread of the infection through the blood in the body.

Banal factors such as an unbalanced diet, weak immunity, frequent colds and the consumption of medication by a man that negatively affect the protective functions also play a role.

Obesity, lack of mobility, and even constipation all affect the inhibition of blood flow to the pelvis, which most likely leads to prostatitis.

In the acute form, prostatitis manifests itself in a man as:

• urinating too often;
• characteristic sensations of incomplete emptying of the bladder that occur while urinating;
• Pain in the rectal area occurs during bowel movements.
• Pains of various kinds in the groin and behind the pubic bone, which are felt more strongly after urination;
• The temperature rises quite often.

Chronic prostatitis is less intense:

• frequent urination, which does not cause the man any particular inconvenience and which he gets used to over time;
• unspoken pain in the pelvis and perineum;
• sudden onset of impotence.

2. Instrumental method that includes MRI and ultrasound. The latter procedure is aimed at identifying pathologies of the prostate, kidneys and internal organs. In this case, the ultrasound examination can be carried out through the abdominal wall or with transrectal ultrasound, which is carried out through the rectum.
3. A laboratory method that can be general clinical or specific. The first option involves a blood and urine test.

The second option includes:

The most popular are drugs of the macrolide group, 5-NOK and similar drugs that have been developed to treat the disease, especially in the acute stage.

In some cases, surgery is indicated to treat chronic prostatitis. This method is mainly required when the chronic stage has passed into the prostate adenoma or when the urethra is narrowing.

In the case of physiotherapy, the specialist can prescribe the following:

• laser therapy;
• phonophoresis by ultrasound;
• diadynamophoresis;
• microwave hypermia.
